Pi Network Releases Mainnet Migration Roadmap

Pi Network released its Mainnet Migration Roadmap on April 18, 2025. The document includes a three-step plan to migrate Pioneers to the open Mainnet.

Pi Network unveiled its Mainnet Migration Roadmap on April 18. The document outlines a three-step plan to migrate Pioneers to the open Mainnet.

However, the roadmap lacks start and completion dates for each phase. This omission has sparked concern among Pioneers, eager to learn when they can expect to receive their accrued mining rewards, Security Circle contributions, and locked tokens.

The first phase of the migration will focus on transferring base mining rewards, Security Circle contributions, locked tokens, utility-app rewards, and confirmed Node rewards.

This phase will target users already waiting in the queue.

The second phase will add referral mining rewards linked to KYC-verified users, which will begin only after the first group has been migrated.

Finally, remaining rewards will be processed in periodic batches. These updates may occur monthly or quarterly, but the roadmap only mentions that the schedule is “to be determined.”

Missing Data Creates Uncertainty Among Pioneers

The roadmap does not include key figures, such as the number of users in the migration queue or the daily migration capacity. Without this information, users cannot estimate their place in line.

Some Node operators said they received partial rewards, while most said the criteria for receiving Node rewards were unclear and requested public guidelines.

Many Pioneers said they have been pressing the claim button daily but still have not received any mining rewards, and referral bonuses also remain locked. Several users asked when their expected tokens would be credited.

Pi Network stated that the “Transferable Balance” in user wallets is reduced to save resources, but users say this creates confusion and some worry that their actual mining rewards may never appear.

One user wrote, “I thought we were mining all of these PI coins this whole time? I thought the security circles were the Consensus Mechanism. It kinda seems to me like there isn’t a blockchain, and never was one.”

No Audit or Dispute System for Missing Pi Network Rewards

The roadmap does not explain how to report errors or recover missing rewards. There is no audit system or dispute mechanism for users who believe their mining rewards were calculated incorrectly.

After six years of mining activity, users said some issues are likely, but the roadmap does not outline any process to check or verify historical balances.

All phases of the migration require users to complete KYC. However, the roadmap does not specify how many users are processed per day or month, nor are there any scaling targets listed. Delays in KYC could hold up all phases.

No Link Between Migration and Token Unlock

The roadmap does not show how the migration waves match the token unlock schedule. On April 17, Pi Network unlocked 2.8 million PI tokens, and according to PI Scan, it will unlock 108.9 million tokens by the end of this month.

The roadmap also does not explain how these unlocked tokens affect migration timing. Over the next year, 1.57 billion tokens will enter circulation, which, based on the current price of $0.6072, equals over $950 million worth of tokens.

The Pi Network roadmap did not mention any connection between this schedule and the ongoing migration phases.
